Hello everybody.I stumbled across this website,your friendly looking community,after seeking advise on a BSA Meteor I got at the bootsale.My Dad always was into shooting,using a .22 Rifle,and various shotguns.I rarely got to use his shotguns,and I rarely spent too much time with my Dad when growing up.It's very sad that it's not untill he passed away,I feel I actually connected with him ore than I ever realised,or ever let on.He knew he was not well,got rid of his Firearms,and Shotguns,but left me a Weirach hw 77,.22 Air Rifle(sorry if it's spelt wrong,I don't have it to hand) I would class myself as a fairly good shot with the air rifle,not used shotguns enough to know,and only used the rifle for a couple of shots,on one day.Did once fire a thing called a Manlicker(again,did I spell this correctly) My understanding of that gun,it was a .22 calibre,but the shell resebled an old 303 round.I fired this when I was 15 years old(37 now) doing work experiance with a gamekeeper.I had never seen a gun like it,thought it must be something illegal.Thebowner said,come on boy,we'll go shooting.Pulled up in a gateway,got the gun out,put a dipoid on the bonnet of the landrover,and shot a Hare at over half a mile,sall hole onbe side,blown away hare the other,could not eat it,he fed it to his pigs. Anyway,Hello.I will be asking advise about the airguns later,but don't want to be selfish,all about me.I will have a look around,hope to get to know you. I live in Burford,Oxfordshire.I collect knives,and am rather handy with a catapult. I am terrible on the internet,I often type things in places,and never find them again,or any answers,so before I get too involved,I must learn to use this site,It does appear very logical at first glance. Cheers,Neil.
